a home insurance company by which large
sums would be kept in circulation among

the prosperity of the city, has
been the subject of remark for years, and
now that the Savannah Fire and Marine
Insurance Company has filed that long felt

nothing TO assist it. It offers as good

THE PUBLIC HEALTH.
Meeting OF the state Board at
Augusta Yesterday.

AUGUSTA, Dec. 26.-The last quarterly
meeting of the State Board of Health was
held at the secretary's office at the State
house today, the members all being present
except Hon. Stephen ]. Young, who is still
in Europe. A brief account was given by
the secretary of the work which has been
done during the last quarter. In the chemi-
cal labratory sixty-four samples of water
have been analyzed from various parts of
the State. Some of these have been done at
the request of physicia MS, some upon the ap-
plication of local boards of health, and the
remainder for private individuals. Remarks
were made by DR.. Horr and other members
of the Board upon the value to the public of
work of this kind and the need of careful
study and supervision of the public water
supplies of the State. 1t was accordingly
voted to authorize the secretary to make dur.
ing the coming year, as far as possible, a
fystematic examination, chemical and other
wise, of the principal water supplies. Sani-
tary inspections have already been made of
school houses in considerable number of
towns, and the work will be continued
through the next month. The attempts not
to make at present general examination of
school buildings. but only those OF the larger
towns which can most easily be reached.
An exhibit was made of expenditures dur
ing the fist six months on account of the
publication of the Sanitary Inspector and
the hope appears justified that the journal
can be published at very slight or no expense
to the State. 1t was voted to issue a new
edition of several of the preventable diseases
circulars and to issue as soon as practicable
circular calling attention particularly to
the contagiOusness of diphtheria, one giving
hints ON household sanitation and one on the
preventative management of infectious dis.
eases generally.

sea Salmon hunting for Spawning
Beds
industrial Journal


Il. j. Philbrook, the machinist, well-known
as an expert angler and as a manufacturer
of fishing reels, made a curious discovery
the other day. Mr.. Philbrook lives near the
waterworks dam. and while on his way
home recently met some boys carrying three
large fish which they had shot and pro-
nounced to be Goldfish. The fish we're so thin
and wasted In flesh that Mr.. Phllbrook did
not at first recognize the species, but he soon
ascertained them to be salmon. Having
bought the fsh, he succeeded In inducing the
boys to tell where they were captured, and
later he visited the locality, where he saw
most remarkable sight. On the Brewer
side, a short distance below the dam and
fshway, a small stream locally known as
Dyer Brook comes into the main river. IL is
an Insignificant rivulet. nearly dry apart OF
the year, and having its source IN some
swampy pastures not far back from tne
river. Yet some distance up this stream
Mr.. PhilbroOk found a shallow, muddy pool
literally packed full Of sea salnion oi mature
growth. They were so irlghtehed az ms
appearance that they splashed about fran
| t}caiIv and tumbled over each other, some
even jumping onto the land, in efforts to
| escape from their prison pen and the new
/ dancer which threatened them. Mr.. Phil
| PhiibroOk managed to secure them without
| injury, sixteen In all, and carefully tran
| porting them to the river let them loose In
| It's waters. The fish were on the point of
spawning. Their peculiar freak in ascend
ing this narrow and shallow creek, hounder-
ing over its rocky shoals and muddy bars for
such distance, can only be accounted for,
it would seem, by some serious defect In the
fshway Of the dam. 1t Is a matter for the
Fish Commissioners TO look to.
